THE PROBLEM
In a booming industry thats growing exponentially by the year, there continues to be a consistent lack of Islamic voice over talent. Many of the existing, non-muslim award winning voice over artists have a difficult time pronouncing the most basic of words in Islamic text and tend to slaughter the most basic phrases or expressions like Alayhi Salam, Salla Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam or Allah Azza Wa Jal. Moreover, theres a clear disconnect between the narrators and the text. Voice-to- ear narration is the end result of this disconnect. VoicingIslam is in pursuit of heart-to-heart narration. The Hal of the narrator is instrumental in having the desired spiritual effect on the listener. A narrator with the noor of tawheed in his/her heart is what we seek.
THE MOVEMENT & VISION
To create a platform where practicing Muslim narrators can showcase and promote their voice over talent with all its varying accents, styles and languages. The most powerful narrators are those who combine the movement of tongue with the presence of heart.

Narration or the audible word, was always the original medium of knowledge. God spoke to Moses, he never wrote him. The best and finest of all creation, Prophet Muhammad PBUH was the greatest of narrators. He narrated the Divine word, the final revelation, the Holy Quran.
The first word revealed to our great Prophet was recite, meaning narrate in the name of thy Lord. Its the way of the prophets.
Our great Prophet Muhammad PBUH was unlettered, by Divine choice and for a Divine wisdom. When Arch Angel Gabriel alyahi salam asked Muhammad to recite, he was asking the Prophet to repeat after him, not read; a form of narration. Allah mighty and majestic wanted the Prophet to listen and repeat. Its only years after the passing of the Prophet did his companions decide to jot down The Guidance as a means of preservation.
THE BENEFITS OF NARRATION
There will always be something magical, something magnificent surrounding the scent of a new book. However, we live in an age that furnishes people with a plethora of options to choose from when it comes to just about anything, and printed books are no exception. We at VoicingIslam believe that all books in todays age should be available through three mediums: Paperback, Digital ebooks and as Audiobooks.
